Behind Enemy Lines

2 April 2023 By David Trounce

Behind Enemy Lines

Would you have suspicions about the genuineness of someone's Christian faith if you heard that he was pulling a wage in 2023 from the Kremlin, or on the government payroll in the days when King Herod was slaughtering the sons of Israel (Matthew 2:16-18), or was serving as … [Read more...] about Behind Enemy Lines

Ezra #8 – To You and Your Children

19 February 2023 By David Trounce

#8 To You and Your Children - Studies in the Book of Ezra

Those who came back under Ezra tended to be from those families that had come back in 538 B.C. (Ezra 2). Is there a principle here that would give encouragement and hope to parents?
